This is a short and non-scientific but exciting comparison of the two versions. I have a very CPU and Memory intensive financial simulation. How does the same code work under .NET 8? So, I changed the target framework in the project files and recompiled the code to .NET 8. I ran the tests several times, and the results were very similar. I did not cherry-pick the examples.

The numbers are self-explaining. The duration of the simulation decreased from 51 sec to 45 sec. Congratulations to the .NET team; I got a 13% performance improvement for free.
